ddodd10 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I've wanted to do a comanche build for a few years. I finally sold my YJ to fund my dream comanche build. I bought the 2wd comanche in 2013 and drove it for about a year then blew the 2.5 motor(253,xxx)miles. It has been sitting far too long. What my plans are: 1. Swap the dash, 4.0, NV3550 and NP231 into the 89 body 2. SOA rear Clayton 3 link long arm front with 6.5" BDS coils and Fox shocks 3. Dana 44 rear and HP30 front w/ trutrac 4. 35 MTRKs on Mickey Thompson classic III 5. JCR DIY rear bumper and affordable offroad front bumper w/ warn xd9000i 6.Trucklites, 10"sub, new heater core & ac evap, xj bucket seats and center console As of now the comanche is stripped down, I'm repairing the floor pans. Will be taking apart the donor soon to get started swapping everything. I'm still unsure what i'm doing to fuel system. (junk yards stab holes in dakota gas tanks around here) I will be posting pics soon. Any advice or tips would be tremendously appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Keep an eye on craigslist, etc., for a Dakota getting parted out to get the tank, if that's the direction you want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
